Default FINALLY, I'm an GS350 owner...

After about a year of research, trying to find the right car, it all came together over the past week. As much as I wanted an Ultra White car, I "settled" for Nebula Gray. It's a 2014 Certified GS 350 F Sport with just over 20k miles. Car shows no signs of any body or paint work. Looks to be in great condition. Coming from an '09 Acura TL SH-AWD, it's nice to still have some power when needed. I'll try to upload some pics now. I brought it home last night, when it was dark, so these pics are from the dealership.

Nice car Had the same one I traded in for a 2016 GS f-sport black on black, I really can't understand why they discontinued the Nebula Gray color?

Congrats on the new ride - if i'm seeing correctly, looks like you bought from Prestige Lexus out in NJ...They always have some great condition, low mileage GS's. When I was searching, I spoke to Bill Lamb who was very easy going but I didn't end up purchasing from them as their dealer fee was too high for my tastes.

I considered the nebula grey but ended up with a the starfire pearl / flaxen.

You will thoroughly enjoy the GS

Thank you guys! Yes, as a matter of fact I did go through Prestige. This one had been on their lot for quite some time. I was happy with the outcome!

Nice. I was looking for Ng when I did my search. Ended up with obsidian but color was the least of my priorities in the end. Availability and options mean everything.

What kind of damage to the wallet (if you don’t mind sharing)?

My RX350 was Nebula and I loved it. Fantastic color. Pretty easy to care for as well. But as you correctly note, it has been discontinued on the GS. They went back to Smokey Granite Mica, a color previously available on the GS. Very pretty color but darker than Nebula.

Looks great! Just like mine. I pickup 2015 GS350 F-sport Nebula Gray as well last March with 15K miles. Your car got very low miles too for a 2014.
Really hate it when dealer put on their own emblem. Will you be removing that ASAP?

Great looking car with low miles for a 14! Now go out and get some good car care products to protect it from those terrible NY winters! I just got turned onto Adam's Polishes and love their products.

Thanks again, everyone. I've enjoyed these forums for several years trying to learn about Lexus vehicles. I originally was looking at an IS 250 6 years ago, which brought me here. Then, I saw the GS 350 F Sport and fell in love it! I'm just over an hour north of NYC (Beacon), so our winters up here can be brutal. And yes, I will be removing an dealer markings...I hate that as well. I would like to get an F Sport badge for the trunk. After trade in, I rolled over $2k and got the car for $31,877 OTD. I'm sure there are better deals in other areas. But, it's hit and miss because when you're looking, there's nothing...and, of course, when you're not, they're all over.

Congrats on new ride.

I got mine last September with 16K miles.

I was same boat with you.... was looking for white but ended up with Nebula Gray, but I absolutely love it.

Enjoy.

Congrats man, and great color. Looks alot easier to clean than black! I had my car perfectly clean and it barely rained and it looks so dirty. I remembered having white exterior and it always looked clean.
